THE managers of the Female Reformatory
seem to think the time has come for them to
notice the charges recently made against the
management of the institution, and they make
a statement assuming the entire responsibility
and challenging the most searching investi-
cation of the management and affairs Of the
institution. The charges, which have been
distorted into all sorts of shapes, were started
by Governor Gray and based on private inter
teryiews held by him with some of the con-
victs whose statements were given to the
public without affording the officers of the
institution a chance to deny explain them.
Since the so-called investigation, some of the
same convicts have made very scandalous
statements concerning the Governor. OF
course, these statements are not true but
they come from the same source and are as
worthy of belief as the charges against the
management Of the institution with which
these convicts filled the Governor and which
he partially made public. AS a comprehen-
siye and fat-footed denial of the charges the
statement of the managers seems to cover the
whole ground.

CONGRESSMAN CHEADLE, of this State,
seems to have attracted the attention of an
aesthetic Washington correspondent who takes
exception to his personal appearance and to
his wearing a 'great copper badge of the
order of the Grand Army of the Republic"
Not all men can be as handsome this crit
ical correspondent doubtless is, and if Mr..
Cheadle chooses to ornament himself with a
Grand Army badge who shall say him nayP
He was a good soldier, and is not ashamed of
the badge that bespeaks his standing in the
brotherhood of veterans Possibly if he were
millionaire he might have one made of gold
and studded with diamonds, but it would not
be any more expressive or honorable than the
big copper one. Go right along, Brother
Cheadle, and wear your badge and if any

DURING the past seven months the mem
'bership of district assembly, No. so, at De-
troit. has diminished from 6, 600 to less than
1000. This remarkable diminution is at
tributed to political intrigues, and especially
to the efforts of Don M. Dickinson to turn the
assembly into Democratic machine. This
allegation receives color from the fact that he
has obtained offices for more that twenty
leading Knights, who have thus been con
verted into active. working Democrats. Mr..
dickinson is boss after the Presidents own
kheart and this effort to capture the Knights
illustrates his methods. Il would seem, how
ever, from the rapid disintegration of the
order that they respectfully decline to be
transferred in body to the Democratic
party.

THE NEW FRENCH EXECUTIVE,

The election of new President which has
just occurred in France is quasi-revolution,
though the last stages Of the proceeding were
conducted in a very orderly manner. The
irregularity of the business consists in the
fact that although NJ. Grevy was elected for
seven years he was forced to resign after less
than two years of service. This was NJ
for seven years, Jan. 80, 1879, and reelected
Dec %, 1885. This is the second time since
the establishment of the republic that the
President has been forced to resign. The
recurrence of the event evidently tends to
establish the rule that President who be-
comes distasteful to the Chambers may be
required to resign at any time before the
expiration of his constitutional term. This
power, now exercised for the second time,
will doubtless be worked again when it suits
the pleasure Of the Chambers to do so, and
the result will be that the presidency will
become a very uncertain factor. All this
comes from making the President elective by
the Chambers instead of by the people. Ac-
corning 10 ING ALuorlCdu lUSd Ol popular gov
eminent the executive department should be
entirely separate from and independent of
the legislative, a result which is admirably
secured under our Constitution by making
the President elective by the people. It is
easy to see that if he were chosen by Con-
gress his independence would be destroyed,
and the balance of powers, under our Consti-
tuition, fatally disturbed. The two presidents
that have already occurred in France, of the
President being forced to resign before the
expiration of his term, will go far toward
establishing a dangerous custom. In the
present case the Chambers seem to have made
a good choice. All accounts agree that the
new President is a man of very respectable
ability, safe, conservative and patriotic,
though not possessing any remarkable quail
ties, nor likely to give the country very
vigorous administration. Perhaps, however,
he may give it thoroughly clean and honest
administration, which, as we all know, is
sometimes more desirable than a vigorous

have been in circulation concerning the Female

punishment were resorted to, and that prisoners,

rather than the managers of the institution.

his recent Plainfield speech, took strong and
solid ground against the trusts that orga-

position of the Republican party on that subject.
